Bartholin’s gland adenoid cystic carcinoma: Report of three cases and the review of literature

Abstract

The adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of Bartholin’s gland is a very rare tumor that usually grows aggressively due to perineural invasion. Although there is no guideline for the treatment due to the small number of patients, the primary treatment is considered as surgery. Adjuvant radiotherapy has also been shown to be beneficial. Three cases, which were histopathologically confirmed as ACC of Bartholin’s gland and received adjuvant radiotherapy treatment, were presented in this study.
